Happenings

My workload at the office has picked up by over 50% in the last 3 weeks or so. I'm glad that it didn't happen before KLIM. My running activities have been cut down to twice a week (Wednesdays and Sundays).

The next few months is going to be really busy for me. I am working on a new market/project in India now for my company and would be planning a short trip there soon to meet with our partners. On top of that my own business ventures are taking a positive turn and that would require a lot of effort from both my wife and I.

To all my running buddies out there, I'll be back for some race action in a couple of months from now. However chances of me training for another full marathon this year are slim. I need to see through all my other committments which are top priority for now.

About Me

At age 38 I was woken up to the reality that at the rate I was moving in growing my wealth, retirement would not be what I desired. My three kids were growing fast and the cost of a good education was another burden I didn't have an answer to.

That was until I was introduced to value investing. In a short 7 months (Mar - Sep 2016) I made over 20% returns from investing in value stocks on the KLSE, while in the same period the KLCI was down 2% and the market generally volatile.

I've decided to start this blog with the hope of sharing what I learn as I journey along this pathway towards financial freedom with the hope that it would be an encouragement and help to my fellow Malaysians in planning and starting your own journey towards financial freedom.
